Stramaccioni was warmly entertained when he first met Aldridge. At noon, he went to a Chinese restaurant with the young marshal's family for a hot pot meal that made him uncomfortable. In the afternoon, he returned to the youth training base with the young marshal.
Although there are two classes a week, it is actually one day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.<
Stramaccioni sat in as the coach of the national team and also acted as a good boy and a good student, listening carefully to the class.
As the evening approached, Aldridge spoke freely with many coaches who were unwilling to leave at the youth training base. Based on the afternoon lecture content, he had in-depth and simple exchanges on the development trends of modern football games. This kind of academic discussion was in a harmonious atmosphere, and everyone expressed his or her own opinion. It was very important for the young coach himself.
It's also a great experience.
After parting ways with Stramaccioni, Aldridge received a phone call on his way home, an invitation to dinner from a Premier League coach.
After Aldrich hung up the phone, he smiled and said to himself: "It's true that my fortune has increased rapidly. After knowing each other for so many years, you finally know that it's time to treat me to a meal?"
He was talking about none other than Moyes, who took over at Everton five months ago.
Moyes is only 39 years old now. He is also a young coach in European football. It is not an exaggeration to call him a young coach. However, he was coaching Preston before and is well-known in the Premier League.
His name has already been mentioned in his eyes, and he is a popular candidate for coaching. But when it comes to the upper reaches of the Premier League, even if they cherish talents, at best they are just like Ferguson, inviting him to be an assistant coach.
In the past few years, Moyes and Aldridge have established a good personal relationship and have cooperated in official matters. To put it bluntly, Moyes helps Aldridge train.
Everton can be regarded as a long-established powerhouse in England. However, its performance has been dismal in the past ten years. It has lost the color of a powerhouse. This is also because the board of directors has been messing around in the past and gambled in the transfer market. The results were disastrous, and the club owner also had bad intentions.
, on the one hand, they are clamoring to build a new stadium for the club, and they talk about the grandeur every few days.
The fans were encouraged by the plan at first. But gradually they became numb and just thought that the board of directors was a wild ass farting. On the other hand, the Everton boss was actually playing the old trick of selling off the team's shares in the IPO in an attempt to make money.
Fulton became rich overnight as a springboard. Unfortunately, the bubble in the football market has burst and investors have stayed away from the football circle.
After almost ten years of hard work, Everton's vitality has been severely damaged. Not to mention competing with the city's arch-rival Liverpool, Everton has been struggling in the ranks of relegation teams almost every year. Good luck only lies in being able to successfully avoid relegation every time.
Moyes walked out of the small temple of Preston and came to Everton. He found that he was still in a small temple. The financial budget may have increased tenfold compared with Preston, but in the Premier League
On this stage, this financial budget is really petty, and life has to go on. Being diligent and thrifty is his advantage. In Preston, isn't it just three years of new and three years of old and three years of patchwork and then three years of patching up?
After becoming the head coach of a top league club, Moyes can't be said to be proud and proud, at least his status has improved. When he met with Aldrich in the past, he was more or less suspected of being groveling. There is no way, the situation is better than others, and he has to ask for help.
Now, he is wearing a suit and tie in a high-end restaurant in London, waiting for Aldrich's arrival.
Although the transfer budget Everton gave him could not make a big deal, when he came to the Premier League, he could see through the living conditions of the wealthy clubs. Moyes, who held his head high and was quite imposing, whispered to himself: "I was really stupid before. Now I understand that I don’t have to rely on others, it’s the wealthy families who take the initiative to offer me an olive branch, and I should choose for myself.”
For giant clubs with particularly mature youth training and rich resources, the competition within the team is very fierce. Young players need training but lack opportunities. Loaning out players is a normal way and a necessary process. They are raised in a boudoir like all ladies. The outcome was probably a failure in the middle. When Moyes was at Preston, he came to Millwall every day to beg Millwall to lend him a good prospect. Now that he thinks about it, he was jealous, but in fact he didn't need to beg at all!
When wealthy clubs expand competitive cooperation channels, they will have satellite clubs, which are originally channels for loaned players to train.
For giant clubs like Millwall, the club that has loaned out the most local players in recent years is Preston. Abroad, there are also two clubs in France, and there is now St. Tolden in Belgium. It is rumored that Groningen in the Netherlands is in A cooperation agreement was also reached when Robben was sold to Millwall.
If a wealthy club wants to become stronger and bigger, it must not only broaden the channels for attracting talents. Millwall has done this job very maturely in the past eight years. They can bring stars of hope from Africa, Asia, and South America, which is even more unnecessary in Europe. Say more.
Another task is to expand the training stage for young players. Satellite clubs and cooperative clubs will be the focus of Millwall's business development in the future. Accelerating the growth of talents and then making them compete. Whether they can stay in the team and stand out is another matter. The thing is, even if it doesn't reach the level of a wealthy family, at least selling it for cash can replenish the investment in youth training and form a virtuous cycle.
After thinking about this, Moyes laughed at himself for being too stupid before. He didn't say anything to the other party, but he also wanted to be grateful to the other party. In fact, it should be the other party who has shown a certain degree of sincerity. After all, not every club will be willing to help the rich for free. For military training.
When Aldridge arrived, the young marshal was smiling and hugged Moyes who stood up to greet him. After sitting down, Aldridge ordered his food directly and then raised his glass to Moyes with water instead of wine. , said: "I never congratulated you after you took office last season. Haha, the new season has a new atmosphere. I wish you all the best in coaching Everton."
Moyes raised his glass of water, shook his head and said with a smile: "How can everything be smooth sailing? Everton has been weak for ten years, and I don't have the ability to turn things around. Maybe you can do it."
Aldridge smiled and said: "Modern football can't be played without money. If you don't give me money, let me go to Everton? I will have to live a hard life for a few years. Maybe I will be exploited by the board of directors after I save some wealth. Haha. Ha ha."
Moyes nodded, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he heard an overtone in Aldridge's words.
The originally calm and calm state of mind began to tremble a little.
Yes, according to the style of the Everton board of directors, if I save and live frugally for a few years, I am afraid that I will not save a huge leap in capital, but will be exploited by them!
I don’t know whether the young marshal did it intentionally or not. Moyes felt that he might have taken it for granted.
A wealthy family is a wealthy family after all!
Just smile back when I'm giving you face, and don't use your lofty and self-righteous pitiful capital as a bargaining chip.
Everton needs some fresh blood. Moyes' original plan was to negotiate a fair loan agreement with Aldrich. Millwall would loan players to Everton, and he would guarantee the players' playing time, and then in some future Millwall contracts. Signing buyout contracts for players who cannot be reused can be used to gain an advantage when Millwall is sold and supplement Everton's strength.
However, from beginning to end, Moyes did not dare to bargain with Aldridge.
This mentality of walking on thin ice is actually like the scene when Aldridge sat next to Ferguson to discuss the loan of Manchester United players.
Whatever Ferguson said is what he said.
bargain?
Are you qualified?
You dare to be nagging, they won't rent players to you, and they even cut off the contact between the two clubs. The wealthy club has no losses, but what about you?
After the meal, it was the same as in the past few years. Moyes negotiated the loan of several players. Aldridge also seemed quite generous. In terms of what aspects of the lineup the opponent needed to strengthen, Aldrich directly proposed Moyes. An irresistible name.
He wanted to improve the offensive end. Aldrich rented Rooney back to Everton. The future of England's new golden boy was optimistic about the future. Moyes did not want to be the main force, but a substitute forward. Rooney was young, although he could not Expect to play a leading role, but occasionally people can place certain expectations on them.
On the offensive end, the name that really excites Moyes is Franck Ribery. This wide player will greatly improve Everton's offensive strength on the wing. Unfortunately, it is still a loan rather than a buyout. Moyes is a consecutive player. I don’t even dare to mention the word “buy”. After studying Ribery’s performance on the field over the years, I found that this person is the player who helped Cristiano Ronaldo. And Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese boy, has repeatedly encountered obstacles in the purchase of European giants. It is speculated by the outside world that unless a price breaks the world transfer record, it is impossible to sit down and negotiate with Millwall, and Ronaldo himself is not tempted.
In order to strengthen the back line, Aldridge loaned Lescott to Everton.
Moyes was very satisfied with the loan of the three players. He couldn't help but take the initiative to send Aldridge away after dinner. The summer was not over yet. When the moon was over the branches, Moyes stood alone at the door of the restaurant. The breeze passed by and he suddenly I shuddered, laughed at myself, and felt cool inside.
They promised to stand up and formally negotiate with the young commander, but in the end, what was the difference from the situation a few years ago?
Still looking up to others.
Regardless of whether it was based on reality or long-term interests, Moyes found that he could not be stubborn.
Think about Charlton's previous season and Tottenham's last season. They loaned Millwall players and helped the team achieve a good league ranking. Although the players still had to return to Millwall, the Premier League ranking The increase is due to the increase in bonuses at the end of the season, and transfers and signings can increase some popularity. At least it gives the outside world an upward momentum.
Moyes thought that his move from Preston to Everton was a big leap. As long as he worked hard for a few years, he would one day be able to compete face-to-face with the young coach on an equal footing. But just comparing his off-field attitude, he I have a premonition: I am afraid that I will never be able to face the young marshal as an opponent in this life!
Sitting in the taxi heading to the airport, Moyes thought of what Aldridge said about loaning Rooney to him, and felt extremely aggrieved.
"Wayne is still a child, and he is full of enthusiasm in adolescence. He will inevitably need more care from you, especially to supervise him as much as possible to avoid the recurrence of scandals in Asia."
At that time, Moyes was sure of his success by patting his chest on his chest.
At this time, I came back to my senses and thought about it carefully.
Damn, what did he promise?
He actually agreed to be a nanny!
And still keep an eye on Rooney to supervise him to prevent him from buying sex again?
Is this something a Premier League coach should worry about? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
